Although there are many different programs available for editing, modifying, and filtering videos, it's basically not possible to significantly enhance the video quality of an .AVI...

You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear - nor can you turn lead into gold.

so what is the best format i should look for when getting video?

thanks

"i mean downloading movies"

Read the rules of these forums (Particularly Rule #6)...

read the rules don't think it applies here. i am not downloading from kazaa or anything like that. movies my frineds have on xbox media center. they have different formats like .avi .mpg and things like that. just want to know what is best quality.
thanks

"movies my frineds have on xbox media center."

If they are copies of commercial movies that you haven't purchased, the rules apply - regardless of who the source is...
